is there anything you can substitute for the beef bouillion
I agree, the sodium in bouillion ruins the healthy concept
I agree Chris. Low sodium broth (or in this case, bouillon) really aggravates me because it’s still about 25% of your max amount of sodium… which is still way more than your body needs to survive and work properly.
